The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater kind of fell flat for me. The writing and world-building were both outstanding; I just couldn't get into the book. I kept waiting for the action to pick up, but the book maintained a very slow pace throughout (at least for me it did).

I absolutely loved this book, but I do understand the mixed reviews. It seems like people either loved or hated this one (I fell on the love side of the spectrum). It was slow, but I actually liked it in this case. Sorry to hear it didn't quite work for you!

Mhm...haven't read that book yet...but I read Shiver and I'm getting the feeling that you should really like Stiefvater's books more for the writing then for plot etc. I'm an old follower and this is my FF:http://booksmartie.blogspot.de/2012/09/feature-follow-friday_13.html

I completely agree with you! Her writing in The Scorpio Races was excellent; I particularly liked her descriptions of the setting. It was the story itself that I couldn't get into, and I didn't find any of the characters especially memorable.
